[tommers]

Time for Andy Carroll.

These officials have been bought.

Lifetime's supply of beaujolais and onions.

Englands response is to bring on Jordan Henderson.

Lifetime's supply of beaujolais and onions.

There is a wonderful book called The Last of the Onion Men which explains how that national stereotype is in fact the fault of the Bretons, who traded onions to this country for more than a century. Ordinarily this comment would be far too dull for urban, but this game has lowered the tone to the point where such things are acceptable.

 

[tommers]

And the Bretons are...? French. They are French.

So that national stereotype is true.

 

[editor]

I'm warming to England in the face of all this dodgy refereeing.

 

[tommers]

Whoops. Henderson.

 

[albionism]

who are these people?

 

[Espresso]

"It's a slightly more offensive looking team"
Heh.

 

[scifisam]

who are these people?

That's how I feel. They're all so young and completely unfamiliar to me - it's like I'm watching a local school team play.

 

[Libertad]

And the Bretons are...? French. They are French.

Not so. They are Breton, Celts not Franks. HTH.

Englands response is to bring on Jordan Henderson.

Sounds like an 80's kid movie star that turned to crack cocaine.

 

[tommers]

Not so. They are Breton, Celts not Franks. HTH.

They live in France. They are French.

Like the Welsh are British.

 

[scifisam]

Not so. They are Breton, Celts not Franks. HTH.

French and Franks aren't the same thing any more than all English people are Angles.

 

[Espresso]

Not so. They are Breton, Celts not Franks. HTH.

And now many of the English team are Angles?

 

[editor]

They live in France. They are French.

Like the Welsh are British.

The *original* Britons, to be precise.

 

[agricola]

And now many of the English team are Angles?

is this another joke about Lescotts head?

 

[Corax]

Bloody cheese-eating surrender-monkeys.

 

[Espresso]

is this another joke about Lescotts head?

Nope. I'm not that clever

Though I do find it childishly ticklesome that the man who scored against the French for England is called Le Scott.

 

[editor]

When did England last have a shot on goal? Anyone remember?

 

[albionism]

Rooney's hair

 

[editor]

Reduced to time wasting. Zzzzz.

 

[tommers]

That'll do pig, that'll do.

 

[friedaweed]

Not a bad result for England that against 12 men

 

[scifisam]

My prediction was right.

 

[lizzieloo]

Who won?

 

[tommers]

Who won?

Football.

 

[friedaweed]

Who won?

You did
